In reply to: [Edit Author Slug] URL is not available to GoogleUnderstood, thank you for pointing it out Brandon, I did manage to fix it after all using custom code in htaccess for an existing website, meanwhile, this was not an issue with newly deployed websites.

In reply to: [Edit Author Slug] XML sitemap not pointing to new author slugHey Brandon,
What I meant is:When All in One SEO generates the sitemap, it outputs the file here: https://www.website.com/sitemap.xml
In that https://www.website.com/sitemap.xml file, we see the different links to the sections that are generated and among them is the https://www.website.com/author-sitemap.xml
In some cases (tested on multiple sites using the same themes and plugins), when I click on https://www.website.com/author-sitemap.xml I get a 404 error.
In other cases, it will load the author-sitemap.xml file but all I see is the Admin user listed in that file and not the rest of contributors as it should be.
Basically this is what is generated in the https://www.website.com/author-sitemap.xml

Thank you for the update Jordy, I’m also surprised no one else flagged this? Considering the different instances of those files serve a purpose for the responsive layout of the themes.
Unfortunately I’m not a programmer, I’m using the Pro version of MFR, I’ll wait for the WP CLI integration 🙂No problem Jordy, I appreciate your help and support, I am a Pro user by the way, I’ll stick to the email correspondance to avoid duplicate efforts.
You’re on point for the theme, everything is custom even the native WP Comments of the blog’s section is custom.
I’ll leave it at that then, luckily Google handles WP Authors organically so I’ll just exclude the Include Author Pages for now, I appreciate your input and help kind sir.Update: Even when I re-enabled the “Edit Author slug”, the sitemap updated to reflect on the “https://website.com/members/admin/” so that seems to work fine for this site, still missing the Contributors…

It’s not, that is the problem, I’m using a childtheme for a classified website, I migrated the site to a new test site, the author slug was changed to “members”, activated AIO plugin while all other active plugins were onboard.
I installed the Twenty Twenty theme and activated it, got few errors in regards to existing plugins (constant APP_TD – assumed ‘APP_TD’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /htdocs/website/wp-content/plugins/easy-video-embed/ecpm-eve.php
Addons plugin is not compatible with your site and has been deactivated.I kept the relevant plugins active, when I enabled the AIO SiteMap module, I saw the https://website.com/author-sitemap.xml and listed in it is the single Admin only while the other Contributor accounts (Created for front end testing) are still not listed.
Contributors have Publishing capabilities established
Went back and deactivated all the plugins including the plugin “Edit Author slug”, and now the sitemap https://website.com/author-sitemap.xml shows the default author slug https://website.com/author/admin/
Contributors are not taken in consideration in the sitemap output
What’s the next step?
Thank you for the headsup, I’m baffled here because I did check on another legacy site as well and the https://www.website.com/author-sitemap.xml does list the new author slug, oddly enough only the Admin is listed and not the Contributors which are the main reason I thought of enabling the “Include Author Pages” in the sitemap.
1) Is it normal that only the Admin is listed and not the Contributors as well?
2) Why would the new site generate a 404 for the https://www.website.com/author-sitemap.xml to start off with? We’re using the exact same plugins in both cases for the SEO and the Slug author pluginYes it is, what I’m doing to resolve the Redirection issue is removing the full path and replacing it by the short path in order to allow the Redirection plugin to apply the redirections.
You’re right Jordy, as stated in this thread by John the developer:
“the plugin doesn’t check if a redirection already exists. Having duplicate redirects won’t break anything, but it will be more confusing for you”🙁
Now back to tackling the other issue of the full path vs short path of the filenamesAnd I think I just solved the issue….
The CSV file exported by MFR includes the full URL path, while the Redirection plugin only needs the short path excluding the domain
Example:
Before: https://www.website.coma/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/rgaegae.jpg
Should be: /wp-content/uploads/2020/01/rgaegae.jpgAfter: https://www.website.coma/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/new-name.jpg
Should be: /wp-content/uploads/2020/01/new-name.jpgWhen I removed the domain path within the CSV file, the Redirects worked
Can you please replicate this scenario and if it proves it is correct, could you update your plugin?
This is happening on my end as well, I suspect the following:
When using Auto-Rename (Pro), the plugin proposes “file-name-2.jpg”
I think in my case, I manually renamed it to “file-name.jpg” which probably caused the duplicate files and swapped files in some posts, luckily I have few posts on this website so I went and manually checked each one and indeed found duplicates and swapped images between posts.
It’s mainly affecting the thumbnails on my endDetaching the files from the wrong post was my temp fix, although I’m not sure which files are missing attached to which post.
